There is still time to nominate students for the 2018 ADEA Student Diversity Leadership Program. This program recognizes students who have demonstrated an active commitment to diversity and inclusion at their dental school. Each school can nominate two students. The deadline is Jan. 28, 2018. For more information visit adea.org/sdlp.

Did you know that 60% of new dental school faculty come from private practice? Find out that and more in ADEA’s Survey of Dental School Faculty for the 2016–17 academic year. Access the data at adea.org/data/faculty.

Before I close, there are two things that I’d like to share with you. First, be on the lookout for a new format for the ADEA Membership Minute—video. That’s right! We’re working hard to make that happen in February. So don’t miss it.

Lastly, the membership minute is for you, our members. Send me your feedback; comments and suggestions for improving the ADEA Membership Minute. Feel free to email us at membership@adea.org. Or if you’d like to call me directly, my direct dial is 202-513-1194.

And that wraps up our Membership Minute for January 2018! Talk to you soon.
